11003-86009 Ornate skink (Oligosoma ornatum) widespread and occasionally locally abundant in places throughout the North Island. However this skink is ranked 'at risk', because their long term future is probably only secure on predator free offshore islands. Secretive, and most active at dawn and dusk. Lives in dense cover in forests, shrublands and heavily vegetated coastlines. Te Kao Bay, Parengarenga *
